Encom PA 10.0 is a practical improvement to the already versatile package of previous versions. In this release Encom PA focuses on making it easier to work with datasets in one, two and three-dimensional displays and producing more realistic 3D geological models of the earth through its improved range of digitising and feature editing capabilities.
|
| Auto-Save Session function |
|
If Encom PA is closed abruptly without the session being manually saved first the software automatically saves the session to a temporary file, and then allows the user to recover it the next time Encom PA is opened. The intervals of periodic saving can be set via the Tools>Options>View dialog. |
|
| Feature Editing toolbar |
|
Provides many more options for editing feature objects in a feature database. |
|
|
| Workspace Tree reordering |
|
The branches for data objects (e.g. flight lines) in the workspace tree can now be reordered using “drag and drop”. |
|
| Data Linking |
|
Improved data linking between the spreadsheet window and profile displays now includes the ability to highlight a range of stations using the “Select Range” tool from the pop-up menu of a profile. |
|
| Coordinate and Data Information pop-up tips |
|
Are now available in Profile and 2D Map display windows and can be enabled from the View dialog (Tools>Options menu). |
|
|
| Data Extraction from Spreadsheet |
|
You can now extract data from the spreadsheet window to an external software application, such as Microsoft Office ExcelTM. |
|
| Database Maintenance improvements |
|
Including the ability to create a subset GeosoftTM .GDB database from an original GeosoftTM .GDB database, merge multiple GeosoftTM .GDB databases into one, clip survey lines in a GeosoftTM .GDB database using a polygonal region from an input 2D vector file (MapInfo .TAB, ESRI .SHP or an internal feature database .FDB) |
|
| Extended Large Grid support |
|
Large grid files can now be utilised in the Grid Utility tool, accessed from the Gridding menu. |
|
| 2D Interactive Gridding |
|
Has been improved to produce a more detailed grid by allowing the user to grid from multiple input datasets, including Geosoft Databases (.GDB), MapInfo Tables (.TAB) and Feature Databases (.FDB). |
|
| Section Gridding Output |
|
Is now displayed automatically in a Section Profile display with full line iteration capabilities and a smoother conversion process to 3D located images (via the View in 3D option) |
|
|
| View in 3D |
|
The conversion of 2D displays (section profiles and maps) to 3D visualisation using the “View in 3D” option now allows the user to select which 3D window to add the data object to. |
|
|
| Voxel Model Displays |
|
Improved control using a new interactive Chair Clipping control and multiple arbitrary angle slices which can be set using the 3D Cursor Plane. |
|
| 3D View Manager |
|
Now allows you to save your 3D extents and orientation on both a session and global scale. |
|
| Feature Data Window |
|
Is now a “floating” window that can be repositioned, docked to a margin of the PA interface or even moved to another computer screen, providing you with a larger display area to work with. The window is now able to be customised to show only the fields that are important and hide from view other fields which are not important. |
|
|
| Advanced Feature Editing |
|
Now includes the ability to modify and edit feature polylines, polygons and closed polyhedral solid models using options such as the splitting, merging and extension of polylines and the conversion of polygons into triangulated (TIN) surfaces. Triangulated surface feature objects can have nodes deleted or added and vertices perpendicular to the cursor plane can be repositioned using an “elastic” movement. |
